Votes for members of Congress must use a written or printed ballot. A voting machine works too, if state law allows it. Any vote cast another way does not count.
Every vote for a Representative in Congress must be cast using a written or printed ballot.
A voting machine may be used instead, but only if state law has properly authorized that machine.
Any vote received or recorded in a way that breaks this rule has no legal effect.
